review 1: I have never read/listened to - yes this is available to download as an audio file - anything as hot as this. I had never watched Supernatural and had no idea who the actors this is based on were but that did not matter at all. If you like m/m and a bit of BDSM then this is your baby. Jensen struggles with love. His young protege should we say is far more mature in this aspect and Jared's friend, Chad, is there to put Mr Akles (Jensen) straight. Jared is the High School wonder boy who everyone wants to date whatever their gender. He's just been dumped by his latest conquest an unheard of event in itself when the new physics teacher arrives. Jared is determined to get him but Jared has a lot to learn, they both do.This story has humour, hot sex and love all thrown in an... mored is not to be missed. Don't forget to read the extras which give background and a glimpse into the future.
review 2: 4.5I keep going back and forth between 4 and 5 stars on this. I actually woke up this morning thinking, maybe I should have given it 5 lol.In a nutshell, Jared Padalecki is a spoiled rich kid whose teachers have always looked the other way regarding his grades due to his parents sizable donations to the school. His gravy train comes to a screeching halt when he gets a substitute Physics teacher mid-term. Far from being the nerd that Jared envisioned when he first heard about this replacement, Jensen Ackles is like a blond God - strong jaw, muscled, glasses and very stoic. He is totally unimpressed with Jared's attempts to get his attention and barely acknowledges him in class unless it's to ask a question. That is, until Jared's called on to answer a question, has no clue what they've been discussing and is called up to the board to construct a formula...with Jensen guiding his chalk hand the entire time. Combustion! He wants more and getting into Jensen's pants is now his sole mission in life. This is a very well written story. Pacing is good. The characters are fully developed and I LOVED Jared's best friend, Chad. He interjects some humor into the situation and this balances things a bit because you'll need to laugh once in a while so your face doesn't melt off from the heat. Yes, folks, this book is HAWT!!! Students getting stripped down and slammed against chalk boards or told to lay across the desk. Dios Mio! Is nothing sacred in institutions of education anymore? Apparently not and long may that continue (in fiction, of course). Anyway, no one ever looks into this classroom, no other student ever walks in accidentally, no maintenance people have to change a lightbulb..it's just pure, uninterrupted sexy time.I did have a few issues. This is basically a D/s story, but at times I couldn't figure out where the true discipline was heading. It just seemed a bit superfluous at times. I like my Doms to be alphas and Jensen isn't really that. It's more of a control thing for him. I didn't quite get the 'life lessons' at times. Trying to follow was making me a bit cross-eyed and I just had to say, 'Ok, if you say so' and keep it moving. There is a bit too much detail in some of the sex scenes (or maybe I was tired/lazy) because sometimes I didn't know whose body parts were where. Had he actually penetrated him or was he still using his fingers? Or oh, this is the first time they've actually had sex? I thought they did that the last time. It was a bit too much to follow at times and the dialogue got a bit repetitive. It also bothered me how unaffected Jensen seemed at first. I like to be able to see a bit of weakness/loss of control in my Doms and I wasn't getting it from him...but we do get it eventually and boy, is it good!Outside of those few issues, the book really is very good. Towards Chapter 5, everything I could possibly want falls into place. Thank you author for not doing some hokey, corny, outing scene. I was totally panicking during the entire Prom scene, but man, it was PERFECCCCCT and so was the ending.Yeah, I think I'm going to go with a 4.75 on this one, so that's closer to 5. less
